Aesop's Fables, translated by Laura Gibbs (2002)

Aesop said that the eyes were distressed because they considered themselves
the most worthy part of the body, yet they saw the mouth enjoying every
possible pleasure, especially honey, the sweetest substance of all. Filled
with resentment, the eyes complained to the man. But when the man put
honey in his eyes, they felt a stinging pain and burst into tears, since
they thought that the honey was harsh and unpleasant.
